Another 2.6 pounds this week- I'm at 223.4! I'm very excited about this one for a couple of reasons....first I weighed in a day early because I knew I was going out for a big dinner that night and I wanted to use that as my loose day. Second, since I lost so much last week I wasn't expecting much this week (anyone see The Biggest Loser the second week? LOL:). Lastly, the morning I weighed in my scale was being so funky...I really think my weight might have been lower from what it was reading but I didn't want to cheat it so I took this one. I only have 3.5 pounds left before I hit my first goal....being under 220 by Valentine's Day!! And I have a month to go. It feels good to be on such a good track. And I try not to look at the BIG picture too often...but tonight it's a little exciting for me to think that only 62.4 pounds and I'll have hit 100 pounds lost!
My trainer brought something up to me the other day that has been on my mind ever since. There is another 90-day challenge starting in early February. This challenge and I have a love/hate relationship. The first time I entered it I hadn't started with Mandy yet...I did wonderfully for a month or so and then went straight downhill and didn't even go to the final weigh-in. The second time I had just started working with her and all the magic was happening....I did amazing. I lost almost 30 pounds and I won the club competition. It was SUCH an amazing experience and I was so excited and happy and proud of myself!! A few months later I got pregnant with Luke and he was born in June. In August they started another 90-day competition and I entered, sure that I'd be able to do wonderfully since I was coming back from being pregnant. It was much too ambitious so soon after having Luke and for the second time, I didn't go back to the final weigh-in because I knew I hadn't made much progress.
So here we are, with another 90-day challenge looming and I have to decide whether I'm in or out. Initially I told him no way, not again! But the more I've thought about it the more I think it might be a good decision for me right now. I am super motivated and I have specific goals I am trying to reach...this can really help me stay focused and can provide just the right about of pressure to keep my mind where it needs to be. I have Jami and Aaron (my trainers) who are so amazing and supportive (as well as Mandy who, although not here is always cheering me on) and who would love nothing more than to help me win. In fact, the last challenge Jami's client came in 2nd and Aaron's came in 3rd...together I'd have to get 1st, right?
So I signed up. :)
